The earl of Aylesford stated, that his majesty had been waited on with the Address of that house, to which his majesty had been pleased to return a most gracious answer, thanking the house for their determination to concur in every measure which the exigency of affairs might require.—Lord Grenville presented, by his majesty's command, the Papers respecting the late Negociation. In moving, his lordship said, to fix a day for the discussion, it was his wish, with every regard for their lordships' convenience, that, on the one hand, sufficient time should be given for the consideration of this very important subject; whilst, on the other, that no longer delay should take place than was absolutely necessary, in the expression of the opinion of that house, with respect to the result of the negociation. His lordship concluded by moving, that the papers be taken into consideration on Friday the 2d of January.—Ordered.
